You can only sharpen them so many times before they become less effective.

I did get a lead from a member for a substitute model- thank you!

Oh. I was curious because I went through the same thing myself not long ago with a different brand of Japanese hair shear. I found out that 'less effective' in the case of these shears usually means that someone who is not familiar with sharpening Japanese shears has sharpened them as we would normally sharpen shears here in NA (that is assuming these are Japanese. I don't really know the brand). Glad you got it figured out.
